Now we’re talking here! From assault weapons to Mexican food. What a better way to use modern technology. If in the future we can find a way to produce synfood from 3D replicators half of the problems will be solved for our great-great grandchildren. Now on to climate change.

Cody Wilson, a law student at UT Austin, is on a mission “to disseminate a printable gun design online.”

Wilson spearheads the Wiki Weapon movement, which raised $20,000 and used it to lease a Stratasys 3D printer last month. He made no secret of the project’s aims, which are to create a 3D-printed pistol capable of getting off a single shot (the plastic ABS used in 3D printing would melt after that). Stratasys was not amused, and after some contentious correspondence, they sent repo men to strip Wilson of their printer, citing U.S. firearms laws.

Read the article, people are overreacting.
At the moment it is much easier and much more dangerous for the public if someone builds a gun out of pipes bought at the home improvement store than print them at home.
I know that there are many plans for automatic weapons out there on p2p networks, which make it very easy to build these guns in your garage.
Also iam not that frightened about that prospect, if some gangsters arm themselves with machine guns i will print me a caliber .50 rifle, and i know i will not be the only one to do so.

Alexander, the BIGGER problem with these guns is that they can be smuggled on board planes or in security areas as they will NO set off alarms. THAT is a PROBLEM.

I don’t know what a single .22 round would do if it were fired in the direction of the center fuel tank of a plane from the passenger cabin, but i do know that if you fired that round through the walls or ceiling of that plane at 30K feet, it would be very bad indeed.

Didn’t Mythbusters test that and find that bullet holes wouldn’t really do much? In either case.

I don’t know, but it was a small hole that rapidly grew larger that nearly brought down the Aloha flight. Even if the hole was quickly plugged, the panic and chaos inside the passenger cabin would be unnerving, the subsequent media hyping of the event would be almost as bad.
